Casper: A Spirited Beginning (DVD)(1997)

Learn when and how Casper (voiced by Jeremy Foley) opted out of the scaring folks "afterlifestyle" and set out to be the friendliest ghost you know! In this spooky and silly follow-up to the hit live-action film, the newly spectral Casper flunks three cranky spooks' efforts to make him frightening, and then befriends a young boy (Brendon Ryan Barrett) whose dad (Steve Guttenberg) is too busy to make time for him. Lori Loughlin, Rodney Dangerfield, and Michael McKean co-star. 95 min. Standard; Soundtracks: English Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital stereo, Spanish Dolby Digital stereo; bonus short "Boo Hoo Baby" (1951).
